Once Enrolled for College Admins

Stop 4: Once Enrolled

Once you enroll your school with Imagine America, we can start working together to help your students succeed and increase retention for your programs. We have data that proves IAF scholarship recipients tend to stick it out at higher rates than students who don't have any scholarship promises. The financial help we offer relieves some of the weight students feel when paying for school.

Next Steps to Ensure Student Retention and Success

Here are quick ways you can set the ball in motion as soon as you enroll your school with Imagine America:
